Abstract
Patients presented with soft tissue lesions without any β symptoms can be a case of Primary extranodal Non- non-Hodgkins lymphoma. According to the World Health Organization classification system, there are two types of Lymphoma with various sub-types of Hodgkins Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma are classified to assess the disease burden Progression and metastasis Imaging modalities are helpful. Commonest site involvement in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in the gastrointestinal tract (44%) followed by Head and Neck and may Involve bone (8%) and Central Nervous System 5%. Diffuse large β-Cell Lymphoma is the most common subtype representing 30%-35% of all Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Cases. Oral and Para oral sites were involved in 2.5% of the cases. A 27-year-old Male noticed a swelling in the flank which was progressively Increasing in size one year back later it was associated with pain which reduced mobility and pain was increased during walking. Due to the advancement of diagnostic techniques, it is easy to get the radiological picture and correlation with clinical presentation and pathological reports, but these facilities are not available at various centers. Usually, patients are present in very advanced stages because of a lack of awareness about the disease, and how to proceed for diagnosis and treatment resulting in poor outcomes for these patients. This presentation and clinical funding are rare in the case of Lymphoma. This case report allows us to think of another diagnosis rather than usual.
